Note: this is an archived copy of Paul Routenburg's excellent Killed By Hype site which was previously located at http://plaza.powersurfr.com/paul/punk.html and http://ca.geocities.com/kbd77@rogers.com/punk.html. It contains a lot of great information about punk records so I decided to keep it alive here after the demise of GeoCities.

Paul's Want List

This is a list of things I'm particularly interested in getting. I'll pay "reasonable" prices. If you have the item but don't want to part with it I would be happy with a tape/CD copy of it if I don't have one already.
NOTE: I'm not particularly interested in trading records.

ANY UNRELEASED DEMO/LIVE TAPES.

I am interested in any unreleased demo or live tapes from the 1976 - 1982 period. Copies of original tapes are fine. It's supposed to be about the music, remember?

My philosophy about such things: I DO NOT do bootlegs. I may put it on a CD for my own enjoyment. However I have no problems in trading music with people, which includes unreleased material. If you were in a band and would rather I don't trade your stuff around, just say so and I'll keep it to myself. If you were in a band and have material you might like to see released I can put you in contact with people who might be interested in doing it. In most cases there likely isn't a huge market for it. Even if it is great, you didn't bother to release it back in 1979 in an edition of 200 copies. Since you didn't bother to release it many collectors don't really give a shit about it now. There is no 7" for them to add to their stamp collection so they can impress other collectors with the size of their penises, er, I mean record collection. They'll happily screw you or anyone else to get that 7" but couldn't give a rat's ass about what else the band might have done. Return to the main index page.
